Hunger strike on Mother asked PM to help free his son

A mother who is on hunger strike for 134 days, asked the Sir Kire Stmper to continue to press for her release to be released from Egypt to run a campaign for her son. “Dies” in days.

Pro -Democracy activist Ala Abdel Fattah – both British and Egypt have citizenship – were to be freed in September 2024, but remain in jail.

Her UK -born mother Laila Soif has done nothing but herbal tea, black coffee and rehydration salts since then.

Speaking outside the Downing Street on Monday, the 68 -year -old said she feared that she was running out of time to secure her release and call the Prime Minister to work.

No 10 has been approached for comment.

In 2019, Ala Abdel Fattah was arrested on suspicion of spreading false news – a charge by human rights groups.

He was convicted in 2021 and Egyptian officials have refused to count more than two years spent in prevention of pre-examination to serve their time.

Speaking outside the gates of Downing Street on Monday, Ms. Sauif – who is also a prominent democracy campaigner – told reporters, “I will like the Prime Minister’s personal assurance to die even though I die in the coming days, but the matter Not going away.

Despite asking for a meeting with the Prime Minister, the campaigners claimed that Sir Kir did not respond to Ms. Soif’s request – although he had exchanged letters with him.

“We can’t talk to the Prime Minister in newspapers,” he told reporters. “I would like to meet him.”

Ms. Sauf said that she had lost weight very quickly due to her hunger strike. The campaigners said that his body weight had fallen to 28.3 kg (4.5th), around one third of his early weight.

He also said that Ms. Soif was first taken to the Emergency Department of St. Thomas Hospital in London when her blood sugar and blood pressure were “low about low level”.

“During the last four days, my weight is going down at a very dangerous rate,” said Ms. Soif.

“I am losing every day like half a kilo.

“So really I’m not feeling great. I’m still on my feet, which I find a miracle.”

He said that it was important that Sir Keer talks directly to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

“Somebody will have to persuade Mr. Sisi to give green lights for a process that will leave Ala. The only person who can do so is Mr. Stmper, Prime Minister”.

“I definitely don’t think that we have a lot of time. I don’t have time.”
